The Free Land of Diogenespolis is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 187 million Diogenespolisians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 55.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Diogenespolisian economy, worth 2.90 trillion Decentralized Debased Drachmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Retail, Pizza Delivery, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 15,494 Decentralized Debased Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller and X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low. Crime is totally unknown. Diogenespolis's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Diogenespolis is ranked 53,541st in the world and 4th in The Equator for Smartest Citizens, with 41.12 quips per hour.
